Proverbs 28
1 The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer, And the righteous is confident as a young lion.
惡者は逐ふ者なけれども逃げ 義者は獅子のごとくに勇まし
2 By the transgression of a land its heads are many, And by an understanding man, Who knows right—it is prolonged.
國の罪によりて侯伯多くなり 智くして知識ある人によりて國は長く保つ
3 A man—poor and oppressing the weak, [Is] a sweeping rain, and there is no bread.
弱者を虐ぐる貧人は糧をのこさざる暴しき雨のごとし
4 Those forsaking the Law praise the wicked, Those keeping the Law plead against them.
律法を棄るものは惡者をほめ 律法を守る者はこれに敵す
5 Evil men do not understand judgment, And those seeking YHWH understand all.
惡人は義きことを覺らず ヱホバを求むる者は凡の事をさとる
6 Better [is] the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse of ways who is rich.
義しくあゆむ貧者は曲れる路をあゆむ富者に愈る
7 Whoever is keeping the Law is an intelligent son, And a friend of gluttons Causes his father to blush.
律法を守る者は智子なり 放蕩なる者に交るものは父を辱かしむ
8 Whoever is multiplying his wealth by biting and usury, Gathers it for one favoring the poor.
利息と高利とをもてその財產を増すものは貧人をめぐむ者のために之をたくはふるなり
9 Whoever is turning his ear from hearing the Law, Even his prayer [is] an abomination.
耳をそむけて律法を聞ざる者はその祈すらも憎まる
10 Whoever is causing the upright to err in an evil way, He falls into his own pit, And the perfect inherits good.
義者を惡き道に惑す者はみづから自己の阱に陷らん されど質直なる者は福祉をつぐべし
11 A rich man is wise in his own eyes, And the intelligent poor searches him.
富者はおのれの目に自らを智慧ある者となす されど聰明ある貧者は彼をはかり知る
12 In the exulting of the righteous the glory [is] abundant, And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive.
義者の喜ぶときは大なる榮あり 惡者の起るときは民身を匿す
13 Whoever is covering his transgressions does not prosper, And he who is confessing and forsaking has mercy.
その罪を隱すものは榮ゆることなし 然ど認らはして之を離るる者は憐憫をうけん
14 O the blessedness of a man fearing continually, And whoever is hardening his heart falls into evil.
恒に畏るる人は幸福なり その心を剛愎にする者は災禍に陷るべし
15 A growling lion, and a ranging bear, [Is] the wicked ruler over a poor people.
貧しき民を治むるあしき侯伯は吼る獅子あるひは饑たる熊のごとし
16 A leader lacking understanding multiplies oppressions, Whoever is hating dishonest gain prolongs days.
智からざる君はおほく暴虐をおこなふ 不義の利を惡む者は遐齢をうべし
17 A man oppressed with the blood of a soul, Flees to the pit, [and] none takes hold on him [to help].
人を殺してその血を心に負ふ者は墓に奔るなり 人これを阻むること勿れ
18 Whoever is walking uprightly is saved, And the perverted of ways falls at once.
義く行む者は救をえ 曲れる路に行む者は直に跌れん
19 Whoever is tilling his ground is satisfied [with] bread, And whoever is pursuing vanity, Is filled [with] poverty.
おのれの田地を耕す者は糧にあき 放蕩なる者に從ふものは貧乏に飽く
20 A steadfast man has multiplied blessings, And whoever is hastening to be rich is not acquitted.
忠信なる人は多くの幸福をえ 速かに富を得んとする者は罪を免れず
21 [It] is not good to discern faces, And a man transgresses for a piece of bread.
人を偏視るはよからず 人はただ一片のパンのために愆を犯すなり
22 The man [with] an evil eye [is] troubled for wealth, And he does not know that want meets him.
惡目をもつ者は財をえんとて急がはしく 却て貧窮のおのれに來るを知らず
23 Whoever is reproving a man finds grace afterward, More than a flatterer with the tongue.
人を譴むる者は舌をもて諂ふ者よりも大なる感謝をうく
24 Whoever is robbing his father or his mother, And is saying, “It is not transgression,” He is a companion to a destroyer.
父母の物を竊みて罪ならずといふ者は滅す者の友なり
25 Whoever is proud in soul stirs up contention, And whoever is trusting on YHWH is made fat.
心に貧る者は爭端を起し ヱホバに倚賴むものは豊饒になるべし
26 Whoever is trusting in his heart is a fool, And whoever is walking in wisdom is delivered.
おのれの心を恃む者は愚なり 智慧をもて行む者は救をえん
27 Whoever is giving to the poor has no lack, And whoever is hiding his eyes multiplied curses.
貧者に賙すものは乏しからず その目を掩ふ者は詛を受ること多し
28 A man is hidden in the rising of the wicked, And the righteous multiply in their destruction!
惡者の起るときは人匿れ その滅るときは義者ます
